colorful meanderings on paper

HELLO DOLLY!

I’ve just had one of those mornings where technology has not been on my side. So let me try this again.

I’m back for my third November of AEDM, the community building, no pressure creativity encouraging annual November event begun by Leah Piken Kolidas. I’m looking forward to focusing on trying new things, just having fun, and practicing imperfection during the next 30 26 days .

I actually created Cosmic Dolly last month, and she was lots of fun to bring to life, with her colorful, mandala-inspired clothing and springy blonde ringlets. I think she’s fun and powerful, what with her snake and bluebird allies and spiral shield decorated with Christmas tree lights.

I ran into a snag when it came to drawing her face and found Milliande’s video on the subject really helpful. I’m having some trouble getting the video to post on my blog, so I hope you will go to the link and take a look at her great suggestions.

Im going to practice faces this month, and play with my doodles in different ways and who knows what else I might try? I want to play some more with my photography, and maybe try my hand at writing haiku.

It’s a lovely doodle and the face is just grand. I wish I could do it as well. Not in a thousand years. Kudos to you! Your doodles are getting better and better. More compact and whole. They are complete entities. I imagine them as book illustrations and imagine the book. Wouldn’t it be wondrous?

My name is Sue and I love to doodle. I love the zen of black and white, and I love to play in riotous color. I love to meander all over the page. I never know what I am going to doodle when I start and Im always surprised when Im finished. Doodling is a practice in spontaneity and a form of meditation.
I love to tell stories with my drawings and invite you to find your own stories as well. Most of all, if you have never doodled, then I ask What are you waiting for? Enjoy the journey of pen line on paper (or whatever substrate you choose). Have fun. Come get your doodle on.
